Bron worked in the Mill. He always smelled like the mill. He wore overhauls when he worked. He was a kind man, I don't think he had much of a temper..by the time I was born he had gray hair cut in a flat top. He always seemed to be happy and accepted life as it was. It couldn't have been easy to raise children alone and work a full-time job. I regret that I did not live near to visit often.
62 F St is now either 208 F. Street, also listed as in Abney Mill Village...I thought he worked at Anderson Mill and 62F was in Anderson Mill Village???? Looks like people are remodeling the homes, but the neighborhood has a high crime rate...my how times have changed since I was a child.
